S. Kristensen, Foucault and Phenomenology. The problem of the unity of the subject, RThPh 2009/I, p. 29-46.
Michel Foucault would be, according to Dreyfus and Rabinow, «the last phenomenologist». But this does not mean, as commentators give the impression, that he liquidated it. By putting Foucault into dialogue with Maurice Merleau-Ponty, one realizes that this designation is not as absurd as it seems. One point at stake in this comparison is the development of an idea of subjectivity that escapes the opposition between substantialism of Husserl’s egology and the dilution of the subject in the innermost recesses of structure. In fact, it is currently propitious to attempt an articulation of the subject and his world, whether on the bodily plan, the social or the political.
